hdb1 mount probs- works fine in root, carn't access in user

[/Knoppix/Knewbie/]

hi,

not sure what to do really, when i log in as root, i can access my seperate hard drive by mount,
but when im in user mode, i dont seem to be able to access it, even if i go in to the shell and log in as root.
any ideas to help a knewbie..

cheers : )

when you mount harddisk as root and not set explicity rights for user ,you won't have the right to acces it.
simplest way is to click on the hd icon on your desktop.
the other way is examine the command 'mount' and and -f options after it.
-f options are : rw,ro,uid,gid,... .
or maybe use 'sudo mount /dev/hdb2 ....'

sorry it's not -f but it's -o
